Ceasefire Agreement Between Israel and Hamas

A ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and Hamas after 15 months of intense conflict, bringing a sense of hope amidst despair. This agreement involves a complex three-phase plan where Hamas will release 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of approximately 1,000 Palestinian prisoners by Israel. Alongside the hostage exchange, substantial humanitarian aid is set to flow into Gaza, with projections of 600 trucks daily. While this potential peace is welcomed, there are uncertainties as the ceasefire still requires parliamentary approval and any negotiation could be complicated by political pressures from both sides.
